1. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data, none of which is linked to your identity:

User Content

Purchases

Purchase History - Used for App Functionality, and Analytics

If you make in-app purchases, transaction data is processed by Apple and RevenueCat to manage your subscription or credits. This data is used to provide access to premium features and to analyze purchasing trends in aggregate.
